Dunno..... Many linux distros(esp. the ones like puppy) support only hard modems(i.e. internal modems ). I dont think ext. modems can be configured with linux.
I suggest you google for it or look in linux community forums etc.

Hey you can connect the modem through your ethernet port and when connection is stable you can connect using DSL N linux.
